The prize/price of vanity

I saw this article while surfing the web. I copied it verbatimly. Might as well share it with you.

My point is... People today attach too much attention to their appearance. They will do anything their money can buy to enhance their looks. Kaya yumaman at sumikat si Vicky Belo.

Anyway, read this piece and make up your mind. To Belo, or not to Belo? That's the question.

Warning: After the jump on clicking Read More..., there are Parental Guidance photos.

This is a butt augmentation procedure that went horribly wrong. It landed Josie, as she is known to friends, in St. Luke’s hospital where she went into septic shock. Emerging from that medical crisis, she was so blinded by extreme pain, she had to be put on a morphine drip. At some point, nearly half crazy with the pain that constantly wracked her entire body and kept deliberately immobile, face down on her bed, she begged the doctors to let her die. “Please,” she begged, “tanggalin nyo na lahat ng tinusok nyo sa akin, hayaan nyo na akong mamatay, hindi ko na ito kaya…”

Six major operations after being admitted into St. Luke’s, she is back home, but still devastated. She has lost over thirty pounds, she remains weak and on pain killers – though milder ones now. She has become the face of what could horribly go wrong in the megamillion peso beauty industry, a business populated by charlatans brandishing doctor’s licenses.

And that is what remains now. Josie plays in her mind Vicky Belo’s sales pitch for her procedure, “Safe na safe ito, tubig lang sya, kaya hindi magrereject ito.” But as we can clearly see from the pictures here, this turned out to be a horrible lie.
